Crossings - Strummel's work is inspirational.  I can learn a lot from her.

These pins are from Susan Camata. I didn't translate, but I think we can all figure out what she likes, especially considering that this is one of eight sewing boards.




And these are from Dawn Hunton's "floral applique" board. Talk about inspiring!

Pin It Weekly time! Last week we met a couple of new followers. Let's meet a few more....
